Dong Zhuo has traditionally been described as an “infamous tyrant.” However, this video focuses on the progressive policies he implemented, the powerful army he built through coexistence with other ethnic groups, and his approach to underprivileged intellectuals. We will overcome his notorious image and delve into the truth of why people at the time followed Dong Zhuo.
